I’ve been sent the claim that GG tracked down one of Anita’s harassers – however this will not be included until I see it confirmed by law enforcement (I’m wary of including incorrect information!).

I’ve also been sent reference to Total Biscuit’s reveal about the Shadow of Mordor stuff but since this wasn’t undertaken as part of GG, and he’s done similiar on his own terms before, I am not including it.

Was sent this about EA and whistle blowing which came out during GG and ma ybe part of it? Would need more to confirm (send me stuff!).

Currently looking into this (Destructoid/GameJournoPros stuff) further before adding to list.

Hmmm I think it’s tough to call some of these “achievements.” As a movement about ethics in journalism, the only thing contributing to that was The Escapists ethics policy rewrite. The GameJournoPros looks like networking. Intel and MEDC ads getting pulled had nothing to do with ethics or any of the “core ideals,” especially considering their “what you should say” post about the “boycotts” many members participate in directs advertisers to Gamergate supporting websites as “sites they will be visiting instead.” Also frequently lying about their actual intentions of purchasing products. (“For those who play WoW, and will not leave at any rate, know that you can still participate in this Boycott.” -BotD – Blizzard)

The ralph retort part is nothing but an assumption from very limited information. The TFYC thing is great, but again is not actually part of the stated “actual meaning” of Gamergate.

[…] Gamergate has done good things. Gamergate supporters pushed to support a group called The Fine Young Capitalists, who ran a game jam to help women get into the industry, after TFYC had a public spat with Zoe Quinn. A handful of Gamergate supporters ran a drive to donate money to the Humble Leading Ladies bundle, which ran during the middle of September, pushing “#Gamergate” to the number one donors list. There have also been charity drives in favour of anti-bullying, suicide prevention, and Action Against Hunger. […]

Honestly, I’m worried that this will hurt gaming in the long run and will outdo the good it has done with the bad. The last few years have been an interesting time with gaming starting to be more recognised as an art form in the mainstream but with the ugly press and ugly fights displayed here, it might have set our community back more than it pushed us forward. Only time will tell, I guess.

The ugly press was inevitable due to the bullshit Anita’s been spewing. That’s why so many of us have spoken up against her rather than just ignoring her mob’s harassment. There would be no negative press if it weren’t for people like Anita and Quinn…

“During my tenure at a large publisher, our community forum was hacked, and the information of over 40,000 members (including names, and email addresses) was downloaded and stolen. The publisher suppressed this information. When my contract had expired I approached a writer about this, and he declined to publish the story because he was close friends with people who work at this publisher and the publisher’s local office.”

The OP is jaded former member of the Australian journalism scene talks mostly about the he sees as corruption inside of it. He talks about people being friendly with publishers.

There are responses from actual Game Journalists who explain how networking works. You can say some laugh him off directly.

(By the way AusGamers have a separate set of freelance staffer who don’t work with the editor who is married to the EA PR person. That’s how they avoid conflict of interest.)

Somebody form AusGamers says he’s almost sure that the OP is somebody who used to be a troll on their forum.

Notice that the original post makes absolutely no mention of GamerGate.

The RalphReport report ran a story on it declaring it as a victory for GamerGate.

Meanwhile a Game Journalism site that was contacted by an anonymous source (apparently the author of the post) did actual research and ran a story on it days later. The site was Kotaku Australia:
